“Look!” That word always makes my heart jump a little as I wonder what new marvel nature has in store for me. I rushed to the back window of the RV to see what was out there. A Killdeer!! Just walking in the grass behind the RV only a couple of feet away. What an incredible photography opportunity! And that’s not all!!

Wildlife Journeys – My First Digital Art Collection
I love a clean landscape photograph. One with beautiful colours, interesting lines, and gorgeous light. Or a clean wildlife image with startling detail and a soft background. Those have always been the types of images I try to make. In the past year or so, I've found myself attracted to a different type of image.

I’ll take it when I can get it, and if not I do landscapes. During the summer months when I am in British Columbia, not a day goes by when then are not wildlife opportunities. Eagles, … [Read more...] about Top 10 Wildlife Photos of 2018
Black Bears Matter Too – My Experience in the Great Bear Rainforest
Photography is a waiting game. A physically demanding waiting game too. Standing in one place, essentially sitting on a scene, waiting for magic light, or waiting for an animal to appear, makes your body stiffen up and leaves plenty of room for your mind to create doubt. In the Great Bear Rainforest, on the coast of British Columbia, I stood at the edge of a river in the … [Read more...] about Black Bears Matter Too – My Experience in the Great Bear Rainforest
